Daniel Arbury, aged 20, of Blackbird Way in Frome, was found guilty of assaulting a woman at the nightclub Second Bridge. Arbury denied the offence but was convicted following a trial at Bath Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (August 9). He was conditionally discharged for 12 months for the offence and ordered to pay £700 to the Crown Prosecution Service, £200 in compensation to his victim and a victim surcharge of £20.

A spokesman for the nightclub said: “We take a zero tolerance approach to any assault and are extremely careful with who we let in on a Saturday night. I struggle to understand why anyone would want to go out and get into a fight on what should be their night off but they are not welcome at Second Bridge and anyone who is convicted of something like this will be banned for life.”

Tracy Sharon McEvady, 47, of Norfolk Crescent, was fined £80 after she admitted failing to notify Bath and North East Somerset Council that she was in work - a change in her circumstances that affected her right to claim housing benefit. She was ordered to pay £85 costs and a £30 victim surcharge.
